This study aims to investigate the relationship between music preferences and subjective well-being, such as satisfaction with life, expectancy of satisfactory life, negative emotions, positive emotions, and subjective happiness. The participants were 344 college students (161 males and 183 females), whose ages ranged from 17 to 37 (M=21.35, SD=2.43). The instruments utilized in the present study were Music Preference Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Life Scale, Scale for expectancy of satisfactory life, Emotion Frequency Test, and Subjective Happiness Scale. Music Preference Questionnaire showed relatively satisfactory level of reliability and validity. Result indicated that students with higher music preferences showed more strong expectancy of satisfactory life than those with lower music preferences. Correlational analysis revealed that preferences of musical activity and classic music were positively associated with satisfaction with life, whereas pursuit of psychological effects in music was positively associated with negative emotions as well as subjective happiness. A regression analysis revealed that pursuit of psychological effects in music accounted for around 8.5% variance of expectancy of satisfactory life. The present findings suggest that music may have the well-being effect as well as the healing effect.
